Esme’s POV My head throbbed as I struggled to open my eyes. There was no difference in opening my eyes as everywhere was pitch black.Where were we? The last thing I remembered was being in the limousine headed to the club.I needed to know where this was. Considering that there was no movement or sounds around us, I doubted that we were still in the car. Alarm bells rang in my head the moment I tired to move my hands and saw that I was bound. “Amy?” I called out, my heart throbbing in my chest from fear.There was no reply and I tried for Rue. “Rue?” Still no reply. What in the goddess was going on. I moved my body even more and immediately realized that my legs were just the same as my hands. Bound and held in place to something.Was this the driver playing tricks on us? Or had we fallen into one of those human kidnapping scams where they wanted the families of the victims to fork out money. “You are messing with the wrong people,” I mumbled as resolution settled in my heart
Silvan. Doran had yet to call back, but in the last hour, I had found out the stores that the black card had been used. My heart dropped as I read the locations and saw how far it was from the resort. Did someone else take the black card from Esme’s room or was this Esme. Just as I forwarded the first store address to Doran, he called back.“Alpha,” he greeted and impatience surged within me.“Have you been able to find anything?” I asked.“Yes, we found the guards and they seem to have been knocked by someone and then pulled into an empty room,” he reported.Before I could ask more questions, he continued, “I checked the surveillance and although the faces aren’t showing, from their physique, I can see that it’s a group of men.” “Also, the guards were knocked down at the entrance to a secret passage of the resort.” My mind quickly filled in the gaps and the full picture looked as threatening as all my worst nightmares.“I’ll send you an address, you can let your men get started
Esme.I was never going to make it through. My body was burning and a lot of memories were starting to flash in my head. I shook my head as the scene of papa dying replayed in my head.“No, papa!” I screamed, my voice resounding in the dark and empty room.“You should call me daddy instead,” my captor teased and rage bubbled within me.“You are just hiding behind chains to keep me captive,” I yelled in anger, a roar escaping my mouth as another wave of pain and want pushed at me.My pussy was on fire and throbbing with the desire to be filled up. Every skin and inch of my body was also on fire.There’s no way I would escape this.I could already picture my resolve crumbling from my lack of strength. Yet, the mere thought that these beasts in the room would touch me kept me going.Probably to play games on my mind, they had turned off the light again and left me to battle my demons alone.Although, I was glad that they didn’t try to touch me forcefully. “This lady has a self will, I
# 96Silvan.Paul had gotten the plane ready in less than an hour and I climbed the stairs while still using an iPad to check the surveillance cameras around. I was also getting live feedback from Daron on how their search was going.“Alpha, we just found a man who’s willing to talk. He’s asking for a hundred thousand,” Doran reported and I hissed from anger.“Write the fucking check or wire him the money. Get him to talk either way.” “And he better have something useful to say,” I added. Doran responded hurriedly and went back to handling matters.“Doran, I’ll be unavailable for the next fifteen minutes, keep things stable,” I instructed and then I forwarded the link from the surveillance I was monitoring to one of the computer guys working under Doran.“Stay safe,” Paul said, slapping my shoulders gently. I forced myself to give him a grim smile that I could tell wasn’t pleasant to look at since Paul turned his face away.“I’ll keep things in order here. If you come back early en
# 97Silvan.I stood there, my mouth slackened with surprise as I looked at the group of six men that were lying unconscious in the room. Daron doesn’t waste anytime and rushed inside the room to access the situation. I glanced around too, carefully checking to see if there was anyone else hiding.Sensing two cameras, I pulled out a gun and fired two shots at them and watched as their pieces crumbled down.“All of them are knocked down and unconscious,” Doran announced while still looking around carefully again.Clearly, he didn’t believe that Esme would have been capable of attacking six of them. I had my own doubts too, especially when I knelt in front of her and saw the face of one of the men. I knew him. He worked for one of the families that supported my mother wholly and he was definitely among the strongest Lycans.He also had speed as a super ability which meant that other than being strong, he was almost impossible to tackle him.Had someone come in here to help Esme.I li
# 98Kane. I had waited more than twenty five years for this. Probably my entire life even. I had worked twice as hard as Silvan to be where I was today. While he had everything at his disposal, I had to work my way up from the bottom and use my wits to push my career to a new peak.But if there was one thing I always had, it was determination. More than anything, I had been certain of my one goal in life.To Bring Silvan Morak down. Everything that he had was meant to be mine. I should have been that child. Yet, I had to watch from the sidelines while he played the lead role.“Master,” Sam greeted as he peeped through the partly open door. “Come in.” I swirled the glass that was left in my hands while looking at the video of Silvan at the opening of some company. The bastard walked the hero life. Praised by humans for his several charity events and the long tradition that his family had upheld to follow the idiots.All of the applause from the audience sounded like slaps on my f
# 99Silvan. “Do you know me?” I asked Esme hurriedly as I jumped into the tub, fully clothed. The tub was large enough and even with my additional weight, the water didn’t pour out.There’s no reply from her, instead, her eyes are glazed and unfocused.Oh no. The thought that what might have happened might have caused a memory lapse or broken Esme is more than I can bear and guilt wrenches into my heart as I look at her blank face.Every second that Esme takes in replying me feels like torture and when her face finally cracked into a smile, a kind of peace and relief floods my body.“I just wanted to pull your legs,” she drawled, her words still slightly slurred from all the things in her system. First, she had taken some really classic wine and then she had been drugged with the aphrodisiac.“Are you okay?” I asked, still a little worried. She nodded gently and not minding that I was still fully clothed, I pulled her in.“Fuck, you scared me, Esme.” She chuckled slightly, havi
# 100.Silvan’s POVA soft whimper fell from Esme’s lips as she turned around in the sheets. Unlike before, her skin had some color now and she looked a lot better than when I had brought her in. My phone dinged with another notification that was probably demanding urgent attention but in truth, nothing came before Esme. Not my empire and not anyone else. I ran some warm water in a small bowl and wiped Esme’s body clean before wrapping her in the duvet. Satisfied, I picked my phone and stepped out of the room. The four guards standing by the entrance all bowed immediately.“You are guarding the door with your life. If anything happens to the person inside the room, not one soul in your family will see the next day,” I warned and then stepped away.Even without being an empath, I could smell their fear as I walked down the hallway. It was not my usual style of work but with how things were going, I was far too worried to bother about how I got my point across to them.My phone rang
Esme’s POVSilvan carried me back to his room and laid me gently on the bed. He tried to get off me but I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. I still couldn't believe that he was alive.I stared deep into his eyes and felt tears almost building up in mine.He ran his hands lovingly through my locks and kissed my forehead softly.“I missed you so much, Silvan. I was so worried. I thought that I would never…”" Shhhh,” he said hushing me gently. "I am here now. I'm just glad that you are safe. I was just as worried as you and I feared that you would never wake up again.”He kissed me tentatively on the lips and I groaned softly as his soft tongue wrapped around mine. Being asleep for almost three weeks was more than enough time to make me crave his touch hungrily. I missed him, and now that I had him, I wanted him deep inside me.He pulled away and stroked my locks.“You should get some rest. Your bruises still need to heal and I'll ask the maids to get you so
Chapter 135Esme's POV I felt very hungry in my sleep and had to force my eyes open. Not expecting to be met with so much brightness, I squinted my eyes to slowly adjust to the light in the room. I stared out the window, different thoughts running through my mind. I recognize the room as the one I shared with Silvan back at the empire."Silvan!" I suddenly called and sprung out of the bed. My thoughts were correct, I was back home at the palace, but how?Images of how I had witnessed everyone die flashed in my head and I quickly hurried out of the room."Silvan!" I called again but got no response."Rue!""Paul!""Amy!" There was nobody in sight even as I called Their names, I began to wonder if I was in a dream."My Lady" someone called from behind and I turned to see Odelia, the young maid whom Silvan had once made to attend to each of my needs.Instinctively, I pulled her in a hug, my heart palpitating in trepidation. Feeling her body on mine made me realize that this was realit
Chapter 134Esme's POVMy heart wrenched in pain as I screamed out my lungs. Silvan lay on the floor, blood oozing from his lips and the cuts on his face.Tears poured out of my eyes as I stared at Silvan's limp body on the cold floor. The exchange of gunshots had seized as everyone stared at Silvan's body as if in a trance. Mustering the last energy I had left in me, I pulled on the chains on my hands with all my strength. Seeing Silvan's state seemed to fuel my energy as I felt myself break out of the chains that were used to hold me down.Pushing Lois's already cold body away, I quickly rushed to Silvan's side, not minding the fact that my chest was not properly covered.I scooped him in my arms, his blood soiling my clothes entirely. "Someone call the ambulance!" I yelled desperately, rubbing my hands on his."My King" I called tearfully, my voice croaky and filled with pain.He smiled sadly, "I'm sorry I broke my promise" he whispered, his eyes peering into mine."Who cares abo
Chapter 133Esme's POV With every passing second, I felt weaker and weaker. My heart was palpitating with fear and my body longed to be released from the binds that held me down.I could hear Kane laughing hysterically and closed my eyes in pain. A drop of tear slipped out of my eye as I clenched my jaws to keep the pain in.As if on cue, the door burst open and a fiery-looking Silvan barged in alongside Doran and Paul. There were a whole lot of guards that came in with him too and they were fully armed.I wasn't expecting it but just as they entered, Kane's men took their stance as well. The two groups pointed guns at each other, staring at themselves eyeball to eyeball.I heard Kane hiss from his seat beside my bed, "What a party pooper. I wasn't expecting you until I drained her empty" he complained with an eye roll.Silvan eyes instantly widened as they fell on me, "What are you doing to her?" He demanded and started rushing towards Kane who quickly began to yank the wires out of
Chapter 132Silvan's POVI waited patiently for the report on the plate number I had asked them to run. I was starting to slowly lose my patience as it was becoming too difficult to locate where Daniel was hiding my Esme."Your Highness, I'm afraid the plate number does not exist" one of the men reported, "it wasn't registered under any company and so the culprit must have used it as a means of distraction""Damn! So what's next?"Sophie was led inside the room, she curtsied politely, "Greetings Alpha, you sent for me"I made to grab her hands but stopped midway and glared dangerously at her."What do you know about Kane of Hammock Corporation?""Mr. Kane?""Is there any other Kane you have been intimate with?" I slammed impatiently.Her face turned red with embarrassment at my outburst, I instantly realized my fault and cleared my throat noisily, "Come with me," I said simply, moving out of the room. She followed without complaint at once."Now, do you remember the Kane I am talking
Chapter 131Esme's POVI felt something twitch in my body and slowly opened my eyes."I'm alive?" I asked in my mind and slowly looked around my sides. Though the room was dimly lit, I could hear the beeping of a machine beside me."You are awake finally"I could recognize his annoying voice from miles away, I turned my head towards Kane's direction. Amidst the injury he had sustained from me, he had an excited look on his face"Where am I?" I demanded coldly."Heaven" he replied with an evil cackle.I gave him a proper stare to see that he has some wires attached to his body and then it hit me, I was still in that damned room and on the bed he had flung me on.But I thought he shot me, how come I am still living?"It wasn't a real bullet" he answered as if reading my thoughts, "it's a sedative dart"I winced as I felt something leave my body, Kane smiled broadly, "I have been waiting for you to wake up since. The procedure can only be successful when you are awake.You are not like
Chapter 130Silvan's POVI paced about the lounge in worry, my mind racing in thoughts as I wondered why Daniel decided to do something as treacherous as this.I knew he worked for Diane but she seems not to know a single thing about this operation.One of the men who were working on tracking Daniel down hurried toward me and bowed respectfully."Alpha, we can't seem to find his coordinates. As for your phone, the tracker was deactivated so it is not possible to trace where it might be"I banged the table beside me in rage, "did the traitor disappear with the air? Why is no one finding something that might lead us to him?""We proceeded to ask around the palace for whoever might have seen him leaving but no one seemed to have noticed. Also, he did not take any of the palace cars, else it would have been easy to track the automobile down.""How about the CCTV footage of the palace gates? He must have left through the exit, he didn't disappear, did he?""Of course not, Your Highness" Th
Chapter 129Esme's POV"Stop right there or I will blow your Lycan brains out!" Someone commanded behind me and I froze.I raised my hands in surrender and gulped down nothing. "Good girl, now turn around really slowly and see the surprise awaiting you" the voice added and I did as I was instructed."Kane?" "Surprise! I hope you are happy to see me, sweetheart?" He returned with a wicked glint in his eyes.I gave him a confused stare and turned to Daniel who was still whimpering in pain, they are working together?"What are you doing here? I thought you were still at the resort even after I left" Kane shrugged, his gun still pointing at me and his eyes sharp in case I make any funny movement, "What can I say? I know my way around. Besides, I have lived here longer than you nasty creatures" he replied and started walking towards me."Nasty? Who the heck is this filthy human?" Ira snarled in my head.Kane's eyes lingered on Daniel's body on the floor for some seconds and gleamed wit
Chapter 128Esme's POVDaniel stopped in front of a building and without waiting to even see what kind of building it was, I hurried out of the car and inside the open door, screaming Silvan's name."Silvan!" I called out in panic and heard no response, the space was eerily quiet and I stopped in my tracks, taking my time to slowly observe my environment.There was no one in sight, the only item in the room was a single bed and stool beside the bed. It looked like a sick bed but there was nobody on it.Ira was on full alert, she began to trace Silvan's scent around the dimly lit room but he was nowhere in sight. The closing of the door made me spin around to see Daniel holding a bat and staring at me ferociously. I looked into his eyes and gasped at how emotionless it looked.He slowly locked the door while keeping his eyes pinned on me,"Silvan isn't here, is he?" I asked in a calm tune, my eyes watching his grip on the bat and the cold look on his face, he shrugged and moved the ba
